Any appliance is electrically

live even when the switch is off.
To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:
1.

Always unplug appliance immediately

after use and before cleaning.

WARNING

–

To reduce the risk of

burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1.

This appliance should never be left

unattended when plugged in.

2.

This appliance is not a toy and should not

be used by children.

3. Close supervision is necessary when this

appliance is used near children or individuals

with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could

result in fire or personal injury.
4. Use this appliance only for its intended

use as described in this manual. Do not use

attachments not recommended by Conair.

5. Always position iron carefully to prevent

it from falling if ironing board is accidentally

moved or cord is pulled. Always rest the

appliance upright on its heel rest, on a stable

surface, when not in use.
6.

Never operate this appliance if it has a

damaged cord or plug, if it is not working

properly, or if it has been dropped or

damaged, or dropped into water. Do not

attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect

reassembly or repair could cause a risk

of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons

when the appliance is used. Return the

appliance to an authorized service center

for examination and repair.

7. Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces.

Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool

completely before emptying or putting away.

Wrap the cord loosely around the iron when

storing.
8. This appliance has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). As a safety

feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to

defeat this safety feature.
9. Never drop or insert any object into any

opening.
10. Do not use outdoors or operate where

aerosol (spray) products are being used or

where oxygen is being administered.
11. We recommend you do not use an

extension cord to operate this appliance. If

an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a

15 ampere rated cord should be used. A cord

rated for less amperage can result in a risk of

fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care

should be taken to arrange the cord so that the

cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
12. Surfaces of this appliance are hot when in

use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or

skin.
13. Do not place the soleplate directly on any

surface or on the appliance power cord while it

is hot or plugged in.
14. Unplug this appliance and allow to cool

before filling or emptying the water reservoir

and when the iron is not in use.
15. Do not operate steamer without properly

filling the water tank with water.
16. The iron should always be turned off before

plugging in or unplugging from an outlet. Never

yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead,

grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
17. Burns could occur from touching hot

metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution

when turning a steam iron upside down to

empty water, as there may be hot water in the

reservoir.
18. If you need to clean the iron, unplug and

allow to cool. Use a slightly damp cloth and

wipe down the outside of the iron. DO NOT use

cleaning agents or place the iron in water or

cleaning fluids.
19. Do not hold hand in front of steam.
20. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do

not operate another high-wattage appliance on

the same circuit.
21. Never steam or iron clothes you, or

someone else, are wearing.
22. When emitting steam, this appliance may

cause burns if it is used too close to the skin

or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce

the risk of contact with hot water emitting from

the steam vents, test appliance before use by

holding it away from the body.
